well it does work, see the screenshot. Only a couple of things....
-*- mode working-*-
- just about everything. I went straight for the shell and ran `dmesg`.
- wireless works :-) used an orinoco-based card. I'm actually blogging from the live cd right now :grin:
-*- mode bugzilla-*-
- there does not seem to be a menu entry for the tool "liveinst". How would new users know where it is or come across it?
- installing a live image is done by a tool called "liveinst". there is no man page or --help switches.
- The initial user "blagsta" does not have permissions to save his screenshots to the home dir. I took about twenty or so when trying to install blag live to a USB image.
- system, administration, >>hardware<< is listed twice in the menu entries
-*- mode bummer-*-
- i dropped the external cd tray and i think that i have damaged the device (the tray) and the CD in the process. -*- mode bummer-*-
-*- mode feature request-*-
- ask for games. I'm hooked on mahjong ;-)

Cool. :) Nice to have an orinoco....

Why /etc/issue instead of /etc/blag-release? :P

Correct. I was going to put an icon for it on the desktop or similar. Bugzilla.

Uh, ya. :)

Hmm, I see it can't write to /home/blagsta/Desktop (i mistake on my part), but it's own dir should be writeable, no???? Is it chmod or chowned wrong? Can you double check (and bz) for me?

I have been on BLAG-69999.10002 since its release. I would like to install vlc. However here is the result:

Code:

# apt-get install vlcReading Package Lists... DoneBuilding Dependency Tree... DoneSome packages could not be installed. This may mean that you haverequested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstabledistribution that some required packages have not yet been createdor been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely thatthe package is simply not installable and a bug report againstthat package should be filed.The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I do not know if it is a local problem or a bug in the alpha release of BLAG but vlc 0.8.6b (with libupnp 1.4.6-1.fc7 ;-) ) does not perform correctly. The volume bar on the graphical interface is not correctly displayed and I cannot read a RTP stream I was playing without any trouble on 60001...

I have found exactly the same kind of trouble with f-spot which needs to be removed when updating one of its dependencies: gnome-sharp.

Apart from installation testing purposes, is there a difference between a freshly installed BLAG-69999-80005 and a BLAG-69999-10003 kept updated with APT?

I am aware that yum is necessary to update the kernel... but I actually have troubles with making my RT2500 WIFI card to work under a 2.6.22.x kernel (I refuse to use ndiswrapper). That is why I am not that keen in installing BLAG-69999-80005 if tis requires a download of Linux. But maybe there are some advantages I am not aware of...

we're entering the final strech here. I'll put up another ISO (or two) today most likely.

In bugzilla I've opened a bunch of tickets of final things that need to be done. Most of them are just things like "final background image" and such. A couple of them are tests of upgrades to see what breaks. If you can do some upgrade tests, that would rooool.

The only bigger change I've done is to drop xmms in favour of audacious. Let me know how this fares.

It's pretty "easy" for me to push out "alphas". But final releases are always more work just due to more tedious things like the website, release notes, announcements, etc... If I ever get any takers on doing that stuff we'll definitely have releases more often. ;)

Thanks to everyone who has contributed patches and images to this release. It is those contributions that is making this final release actually happen.
